What movie would Dino recommend for him?: Dino dips back into the classics for the Gene Kelly musical “Singin’ in the Rain”. The title track reminds the Orange not to worry should they face any rough weather on the road in 2020.
Interesting nugget o’interest: Kelly was a member of Brophy’s state championship rugby team.
